 Marmit Vinyl Paradise / parababy Spectreman Releases??
So I came across a few sets of Spectreman figures that are being sold as Marmit Vinyl Paradise figures. The size / design points to Parababy, but I wanted to ask the experts whether or not these actually were produced I checked the various sources (here, Club Tokyo, etc) and nothing came up... Example:  Thanks!

Those are definitely Parababies. The pink-suited Gori looks like a version that was released (w/ that Spectreman) in 2002 called the "Tokyo Paradise ltd. color." Tokyo Paradise seems to be a radio show in Japan...?

There are 4 different Spectreman & 4 different Gori, released in various 2 packs.
The picture you show is a mismatched set.
The Gori is not the Tokyo Paradise version, but the Spectreman is.

 Re: Marmit Vinyl Paradise / parababy Spectreman Releases??
Thanks for the correction. I guess the Tokyo Paradise version is a darker pink? The Gori in the set with Midoron definitely looks like the lighter pink of the one in the photo. This is the Tokyo Paradise set, which I gather is the 4th Spectreman and Gori:  Sorry for the error, CCP. I thought the pink was a result of the photo quality. Now that I compare the two, some of the other spray details are different.

Yes those are the pics that illustrate my comment.
The Tokyo paradise is indeed a darker pink with no spray under the collar of the suit.
